rm2000 a/month is my other income from direct sales TUPPERWARE.

For someone who's been in the O&G industry for almost 10 years.. USD 400/day is not really a big deal. The more experience you have.. the more employers are willing to pay for your expertise. Some O&G companies even pay fresh grads USD 200/day.

its USD.
Those who work at offshore does get such amount of allowance a day.

If not how their salary in 5 digit?

mutt, enkadirmainbola is a lady and she's working offshore.
Her salary > 10k/month.

I do have a senior fresh grad in one of service company, getting USD5k.

If you have some technical background then you should be eligible to apply for an offshore job. My colleagues all have diverse background.. ranging from mechanical and electrical engineering to industrial physics and geology.

Not really.. most if not all companies will provide on the job training. What I mean by technical background is having a degree which has something to do with engineering.. or sciences such as physics or geology. I'm sorry if it still seems vague but I can't think of how to explain it any better. To make it even simpler... as long as you studied some form of physics during university then you have a pretty good chance of being qualified to apply.

mutt, i suggest u come back to slim river and teach ur juniors over there rather than hunting for big bucks by joining oil and gas industry...

most of the O&G companies want fresh grads with excellent communication skills....they dont look at ur CGPA...as long as ur CGPA >3.0 is enuf...

for offshore posts, they want engineering fresh grads....any engineering discipline is eligible to apply...

no gender or race discrimination in O&G industry, everyone can work at offshore....in fact, some companies r looking for women to work at offshore....maybe they r bored because not many women work at offshore before...

i've gone through interview with schlumberger actually....they really test ur comm skills and how confidence u r in the interview....

I can attest that my work offshore does not include 'amusing' my male colleagues. I pull as much weight as anybody else out there. 

But yes.. I've only mentioned the academic qualifications so far.. you must be a team player but also be capable to lead a crew.. must posses excellent communication skills since you will be working in a multinational environment.  While on the job I must be able to understand whatever it is that I am required to do when given the instructions... a misunderstanding can cost potentially millions of dollars in lost production time, revenue and equipment.  Believe me the working environment is noisy as hell, hazardous and there's plenty of distractions.. often times I can't even hear what my supervisor is asking me to do above all the noise.. you might have radio/walkie talkie but interference is almost always there and you end up listening so some garbled mess.

who say no women offshore eh??

there are some.....and our platform has 2 lady full time operators on board. no problem...

oh yes, they are the pioneer lady operation technicians. so dont look down of your platform operator..especially the ones in Central Luconia. we have worked hard as much as the mens also to ensure safe delivery of gas everytime!
no offence, but the males here rather uneasy to find a lady boss/engineers around coz of ther 'bising' mouth....

welcome to E11 HUB Complex man....the biggest gas platform in Asia Pacific (as my OIM porclaims....)

haiya, worked offshore but dont know what is OIM ma?

Operations Installation Manager, your big boss of the complex

yakah? owh sorry about that...but you sound as one. my bad!

U just have to look around, companies DO offer internship for non complete degree holder, thats the idea of internship. Don't expect 2K a month though. Most internships pay like 600++ depending on place. Hunt around in industrial areas and MNC.

ok, i'll shut up then...perhaps not as much as you think. still i cant buy my complete dj set yet

no offend , pls continue to contibute ur idea here   , i didn't mean to ask anyone shut up...
ur complete dj set is what price range.,.....
